i have a forum site which is running on a vps 45gb space and 2000gb put i would like to offer my members a means to upload images small files max 5-10mb just with in the site but i would like to use a totally new server are there any shared host that will allow this has i will use a scrpit has well on it
View 9 RepliesI already started a thread, and got suggestions about a host to choose. I selected HostGator, but when i read the TOS of HostGator, they do not openly allow image sharing and do not allow you to keep more than 50,000 files on their server.
So, which host do you recommend me. Please consider:
1. Low cost,
2. Reliability,
3. High shared disk and bandwidth
4. Allow image sharing. (I am not going to share adult images).
First things first, we haven't even figured out if we're going to use clipshare, clipbucket or phpmotion for this project. We're going to build a video sharing site where people can share their videos or post direct links to youtube clips etc. Any other ideas or script recommendations are gladly accepted
Now, the hardware part. VPS's at dreamhost cost $15 a month which sounds nice, but how reliable are they? Based on my readings here at WHT, dreamhost and seperate mysql/site servers don't work too well over there. I'll happily pay more if I know what I'm getting is reliable and 100% functional without a lot of uptime problems and server issues.
I have a Hostgator account but they don't support video sites on shared/reseller so we'd have to go dedicated with them. I don't see the point in going dedicated when the site isn't even launched.
So, I guess a VPS it is unless anyone else has another suggestion. Who can tell me about the "big" hosts in the game with the most reliable VPS solutions?
I am planning to start a web-site in which video-sharing(video-hosting) is going to be the primary concept. I need support for a very CPU and RAM instensive program called 'ffmpeg'. I also need a minimum of 2.5TB of disk space and 15TB of bandwidth every month. I tried looking for an ideal host all over the web, but I am more confused than ever.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am having a video sharing website designed. It's not going to be too busy to start with but I appreciate it will use a lot of bandwidth. I wont be offering the embed option so maybe that will limit the strain.
Any ideas on a good US-based host that can offer me a dedicated and managed solution with fast and friendly support? Any ideas of a monthly cost for a start-up?
What's the best thing to go with? Is it a VPS or a Dedi?
I am currently on a shared package with a US company. However, I'd like to bring the site into the UK hosting domain, and perhaps closer to where I live.
Location in the UK isn't important.
What's the best thing to go with? VPS or Dedi? Or to remain on my US shared?
Currently at about 35GB bandwidth for this month. And the site's only been open 2 months. So will need over 200GB a month with room to expand.
And about 50GB space minimum if possible... :-/
i want to build a fileshering web site, i know from the start that trafic to my site will be high becouse it is not a regular file host site and i belive that i will have a lot of downloads as service will be mostly free of charge.
from what i understand i will need massive servers or at least good servers with high data transfer speed , reliable up time , very big storage space and massive bandwith.
i understand that budget should be high for this and i am not cutting on budget, i thought on first starting low and then upgrading but the low point of this poject will still need to have the best i can find both in speed ,storage and bandwith.
can you reccomend what service or way i can use for this project?

View 11 Replies View RelatedCan i share files from linux to linux machine using SAMBA
View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried searching for this, but haven't found the solution. I currently have a VPS I'm not using for anything else, so I thought it would make a good file server for sharing files between my home and office computers. Ideally, I'd like to do this via SMB/Samba so I could map a windows network drive to a directory on the VPS from both locations.
I've set up SAMBA and it works great via the VPS (ie. smbclient returns that it is sharing the directory, etc...). The problem is I can't get either of the remote machines to connect. I read about a way to do tunneling in PuTTY, which worked. In essence I created a Microsoft Loopback device on the remote machine and ran putty forwarding the samba share port. This worked perfectly, in that I could type "10.0.0.1" (the MS loopback interface) and access my VPS shares on my home machine. However, this isn't ideal, as you have to keep PuTTY running to be able to access the shared drive and you have to keep a live SSH session going.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to cut out PuTTY from the mix and just be able to do "vps.hostname.comsharename" directly from both the home and office machine. I gather this would be trivial if my home machine and the VPS were on the same network. Would a VPN solution make sense here? Any good recommendations? I think a VPN connection would be much easier to setup and deal with than the SSH tunneling solution.
Searching on here revealed adding a line "hosts allow" with the remote IP into smb.conf; however, that did not work for me. It's still as if the remote machines cannot see the VPS through SMB.
I am considering purchasing the 'Express Server 2' package from Leaseweb to host my vBulletin forums
Should I try to find someone to share it?
I am not sure if many of you have been getting this same spam. But I've been getting spam about sexual topics and the email is just an image with words written on it.
Sometimes the email has words too such as what is written below.

Using cpanel /centos 4.5
I have developed website which will allow user to upload 1-2 photos and also allow to see other users photo and rate them. For this I have planned to go for VPS. I am also thinking of another alternative of using image hosting service, where I will keep all user photos on image hosting server and embed links given by image server in my webpage.
Now my question is.
1) Using image hosting is faster(respone time for each user) than VPS?
2) How exactly using image hosting works. when user request web page from my server, will my server go and fetch entire image from image server and then send final result to user brower?
where I can host images for my site. It will be thousands of smaller image like 5k - 30k. I am looking at free sites like imageshak. They say in their terms of service that I can host images for my site as long as I don't host all my images. So do you think that I could put like 20 thousand images on their site? These images would not get accessed too much so it won't slam their servers or anything.

I have a dedicated server with whm/cPanel centos 5, however I have an issue with retrieving files between 2 cpanel accounts.
One account is an ssl site [url]and the other cpanel account is [url]
Now, the manager since it's on seperate account can't get the files and media stored locally on the other account due to account permissions.
Does anyone know how to hack whm/cpanel to give an account access to another folder in the home directory? I don't really want to give it full root access in case the account gets hacked.
Im doing an iphone app related to audio recording. I would like for the user to be able to share these recordings on twitter/facebook. Since you can't encode to mp3 (licensing issue i think), I'll have to do it server side, and then host those mp3s for some period of time (week or month).
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend an inexpensive hosting solution I should look at. Most of the cheaper hosting plans I see would probably consider this as file sharing and not allow it in their TOS.
I thought I would be able to use google appengine, and pay only for whats used... but since it doesn't do direct disk access I don't think there's a way for me to convert to mp3 with them.
It would be private, accessed by about 40-200 students from my faculty. We would share scanned documents and Powerpoint slides that we receive from professors, as well as the latest news such as changes of lecture times etc.
Optimal would be something like Google Groups, but with larger storage (5 GB min). I am therefore considering running ubuntu LAMP on a basic Linode.
what software can i run that provides my group with a Google-groups-like web interface? RSS capability is a plus, so is an easy setup.
Is there a windows program that will let me share two connections? For example, I have a dsl line and a wireless broadband.

At the moment my hosting (other projects) are with Rackspace UK purely because their hosting is fantastic.
The majority of my traffic will be U.S. based so I'm looking for a solution there where bandwidth is much cheaper (than the UK).
This is a serious project and I expect a couple of hundred users to start testing the site from day 1. Obviously as we grow we will need more bandwidth etc.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience of this kind of project and if so, what advice you could offer relating to hosting solutions.
We must be with a hosting company that offers lightning support. That's why I'm currently with Rackspace but their hosting is very expensive.
I am wondering is there a possibility for below:
I have a established host on a dedicated company1 like hostname1.mydomain.com and I want to get another dedicated server from company2 like hostname2.mydomain.com
Is this possible? Like sharing the same domain with different hostnames? Does whm allows this? And how they negotiate each other?
I'm a PowerVPS client. I have 3 VPS servers with them, CPANEL POWER-1, POWER-2 and POWER-3
I was very satisfied client, until today. Let me start from the beginning.
Websites on one of my VPS servers (POWER-2) were loading really long, even logging in to cPanel/WHM took me like 8-10 seconds. I didn't use this VPS before, I contacted tech support and they said MySQL and Apache were set to default and have to be optimized, so they did optimize it. I've copied same website to 3 servers. Performance on POWER-1 and POWER-3 was great. I decided to try if that apache/mysql optimization really helped and test it for couple days to see if I got the same problem. After couple hours I got back to them becase performance on POWER-2 was still horrible. Couple hours later, I got an email saying that this issue has been resolved. It said "there was a VPS on your node that was using up excessive amounts of CPU cycles". Until today I was sure that VPS uses "EQUAL CPU SHARE". If other VPS's owners can affect performance of our VPS server, and memory or CPU is not equally shared, what's the point of using Virtual Dedicated Servers over cheap low quality shared hosting accounts? Does PowerVPS lie to us or I misunderstand idea of VPS?
I created a 4GB disk image for a virtual machine in Xen. (I have root on the physical box, so please don't tell me to contact my VPS provider!)
The disk was filling up, so I took the advice online and created a 6GB file with dd (zero-filled), cat'ed it to the end of my disk file, and then...
[matt@babe centos]$ sudo resize2fs -f ./cent.img
resize2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open ./cent.img
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
Of course, fsck won't take a disk image, only an actual partition. And I can't mount it, since I get the same error about a bad superblock.
The VM actually boots up fine, but it only sees 4GB of what's now a 10GB file.
I can use losetup to mount it on a /dev, but still get fsck errors:
[matt@babe centos]$ sudo fsck.ext3 -b 8193 /dev/loop3
e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
fsck.ext3: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/loop3
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
I don't know what blocksize was used, so I don't know where to look for a superblock... (I'm out of my league on fsck'ing virtual disks.)
The thing boots fine and is non-mission-critical right now, so worst-case, I can just mount it, rsync the data to the host, and then set up a new machine and rsync that in... I'd just rather not go through that hassle if I don't have to.
My goal is to block hotlinking of fullsize images and display a image when they attempt it... but allow clickable thumbnails to be shown. For some reason the following isn't working...
